Sgt Jose F Carrasco Elementary

Tucked into the fast-growing eastside neighborhoods of El Paso near the Fort Bliss corridor, Carrasco Elementary draws a lot of military and working families who appreciate its notably strong English scores and solid overall academics. The school sits in a part of the city that still has that close-knit, community-feel even as the area continues to develop, and families here tend to be engaged and resilient. For parents moving into the 79938 zip code — especially those coming with the military — it's a genuinely reassuring option in a district that serves one of Texas's most unique border communities.
